Man with two watches not sure." It doesn't matter much to me if I'm 5 minutes late or 5 minutes and 20 seconds late. A rough idea is good enough. There are plenty opportunites to re-synchronize with the rest of the world. The trick is to include enough extra time into my daily life to allow for traffic snarls, a kid's tantrums or the marvelous light on the meadow. For the vast majority of us, how precise a timepiece do we really need? If you do need +/- 2 sec precision per month, is that lifestyle doing you any good?
